WARNING! NEVER
hold the transceiver so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver

transceiver is vertical.

WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hear-
ing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If
you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or dis-
continue use.

attempt to charge alkaline cell batteries. Be aware
that external DC power connections will charge batteries inside
the battery case. This will damage not only the battery case but
also the transceiver.

push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
